While it excels at metal, hard rock, and high-gain tones, the Snakebyte can also handle clean tones and mid-gain rock styles thanks to its versatile pickup voicing, especially with the Het Set, which has a more dynamic range than traditional EMGS.
ESP has produced limited-run left-handed versions of the LTD Snakebyte. Availability varies by year and dealer, so check with your local or online retailer.
Absolutely. With a 24.75" scale and set-neck construction, it handles down tunings like Drop C or D Standard very well, especially with heavier gauge strings and the tight response of the EMG JH pickups.
It’s ideal for:
-
Metallica fans
-
Heavy riffers
-
Live performers
-
Collectors of signature guitars
-
Anyone wanting a visually aggressive, modern metal machine
